MPC8306SVMABDCA

The MPC8306SVMABDCA is a PowerPC e300c3-based microprocessor from the MPC8306 family, delivering a single 32-bit core at 133 MHz in a 369‑pin PBGA (19×19 mm) package. It is a highly integrated communications processor designed for embedded networking and control applications.

Targeted for consumer and embedded markets, the device combines on-chip peripherals, multiple Ethernet interfaces and a DDR2 memory controller to simplify board design while addressing performance, integration and space constraints.

Key Features

• Core and Architecture — PowerPC e300c3 core (MPC603e-based) with dual integer units and integrated MMU; single 32‑bit core running at 133 MHz.
• Cache and DMA — On-chip L1 instruction and data caches (16 Kbytes each) and two DMA engines for efficient data movement and reduced CPU overhead.
• Communications Offload — Integrated QUICC Engine communications co-processor to accelerate communications protocols and offload host CPU tasks.
• Memory Subsystem — 16‑bit DDR2 SDRAM controller for system memory interfacing and deterministic data throughput.
• Ethernet and USB — Three 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interfaces and one USB 2.0 port for networking and peripheral connectivity.
• Peripheral Integration — On-chip peripherals and controllers (timers, DUART, I2C, SPI, HDLC, TDM/SI, GPIO) as documented in the product family datasheet.
• Package and Mounting — 369‑PBGA (19×19 mm) surface-mount package, supplied in tray packaging.
• Operating Range — Consumer qualification with an operating temperature range of 0°C to 105°C.

Typical Applications

• Residential Gateways and Routers — Multiple 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports and integrated communications engine enable WAN/LAN packet processing and protocol handling for home networking equipment.
• Modem/Router Systems — e300c3 core, DMA engines and DDR2 controller support routing, buffering and control tasks in modem and router designs.
• Industrial Control — Deterministic I/O and integrated peripherals facilitate control and monitoring tasks in industrial automation and instrumentation (consumer-device qualification applies).
• Test and Measurement — On-chip memory interfaces and communications offload capabilities provide a compact processing node for data acquisition and protocol-heavy test equipment.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Communications Processing: The QUICC Engine and multiple Ethernet MACs reduce external chipset requirements and simplify system architecture for networking products.
• Balanced System Performance: The e300c3 core with L1 caches and dual integer units combined with two DMA engines delivers efficient control-plane and data-plane handling at 133 MHz.
• Memory Flexibility: Built-in 16‑bit DDR2 controller enables direct connection to DDR2 memory, reducing external interface complexity and board routing.
• Compact Package: 369‑PBGA (19×19 mm) footprint supports high integration in space-constrained embedded systems while enabling surface-mount assembly.
• Broad Peripheral Set: Integrated USB 2.0, HDLC, TDM/SI, DUART, I2C and SPI peripherals provide a versatile I/O mix for diverse embedded and communications functions.
